The Assets section lists current assets first (bank balances, accounts receivable, inventory, advance payments, GST input credit), followed by fixed assets (plant, equipment, vehicles) net of accumulated depreciation, and then other assets. The Liabilities section lists current liabilities (accounts payable, GST output tax payable, TDS payable, advance from customers) followed by long-term liabilities (bank loans, deferred revenue). The Equity section shows share capital, retained earnings from prior years, and current-year net profit.
Indian companies preparing financials under the Companies Act 2013 need a Balance Sheet in Schedule III format. While Zoho Books does not generate Schedule III automatically, the accounts it maintains are directly mappable to Schedule III line items. Most Zoho Books-using companies export the Balance Sheet to Excel and have their CA format it for the annual return filing with the Registrar of Companies.
Key ratios you can calculate from the Zoho Books Balance Sheet include the Current Ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities, ideally above 1.5), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (total liabilities divided by equity), and Working Capital (current assets minus current liabilities). These three numbers tell you whether the business can pay its near-term obligations and how much financial risk it carries.
The Balance Sheet in Zoho Books is a financial statement showing your business’s total assets, total liabilities, and owner’s equity at a specific date, confirming that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity.
Go to Reports, then Business Overview, and select Balance Sheet. Choose the date as of which you want the report and click Run Report. Zoho Books presents assets, liabilities, and equity in a standard vertical format.
